You're assuming that your ideas are worthwhile and important enough to listen to.

Most people don't want to hear some guy rant when it's some jaded dumbass who wouldn't know good game design if it hit him over the head.

It's like people on twitter who just have to comment in some snarky way with whatever is in the news with 50,000 tweets, an account 12 months old, and 100 followers, 80 of which are bots.

Linking it to /owg/ and /v/ is retarded too.

Let's be honest, even if you made cookiecutter videos like ''HOW TO RANK UP - MUST SEE!!!!", you're too unoriginal, unfunny, and unimportant to ever get an audience.

Youtube/twitch success stories are based entirely on early adopters. You have a 0.001% chance of entering them right now and making more money off of them than a burger flipper would, let alone an actual decent/livable salary.

no youtube channel yet, but I've made a gaming website recently where I post news, reviews, opinions, ect. I'm waiting for my friends to be ready to do recordings since they have all the equipment.

>>377331884
i've had a youtube account since 2005
and you're kind of right
there isn't really any way to get on the trending list like you used to be able too
now google just pushes their home grown propaganda on the trending and recommended new videos page

Is it true you need 10000 views before you can monetize

You're fake news. Success on Youtuber/Twitch is based in getting an audience, consistently putting out content, and some degree of random luck. Being female and using a camera also helps, but that just puts the whole thing on easy mode.

>wouldnt know game design

Everyone said they agreed with my ideas. They just dont like my voice.

>you wouldnt be any different

I am though so far, since everyone else sucks Blizzards dick. I dont. This is my first Blizzard game.

I call them out on their shitty design ideology, and give well thought out solutions with multiple examples of why they would work.

Not everyone has to agree with them, but when /v/ agrees with my solutions, you know something aint right.

Now if only they liked my voice.

I made some shitty little comedy vids of my friends and I playing to pass the time, they get a kick out of it so why not? They're not very good though, but I'm wanting to make some indepth analysis/review in the vein of Joseph Anderson eventually.

https://youtu.be/HtnB97dGMZ8

I started streaming, up to 17 or so followers after playing through Lords of The Fallen to see how shit it was. Playing through darksiders 1 now, get like 5-10 viewers with a couple regulars, it's pretty neat. Streaming's a lot of fun.

to follow up: Im not going for the normie audience here. im not going for the friendly WHATS UP YOUTUBE ITS YA BOIIIII etc.

Im a grumpy fuck irl. Im a grumpy fuck in my videos. I dont beat around the bush and say "its not your teams fault you lost" when clearly it damn well is.

People need to stop being overly positive and fake on Youtube. Especially in video game videos. I can tell when someone is faking a personality or not. Unfortunately everyone likes those online brotards.

im not going to pretend to be someone im not. im not happy about the state of the game, why should i be happy in the video?

It's not, because I grew up in South Florida where they don't have mandatory computer classes and so I never had the privilege of learning how to cut, edit, shoop my face unto the preview pic like I'm on a greenscreen, or otherwise modify and aggregate sound and special effects to a video because I was still too busy learning how to type on the asdfjkl; position well into 8th grade.

Notice you never see anyone with a southern accent making videos on Youtube. That's why.

I streamed DOOM on Twitch. First ever outside of friends.
I got one viewer for 2 hours.
I hope they liked it

look, you're looking in the wrong place for feedback. this is the shithole of the internet and rightfully so. this place is full of miserable people. it's ground zero for jaded, hopeless people. before anyone says, "what are you doing here then, fgt?". my reply is, misery loves company.

if you like what you're doing, then keep doing it. if you lose track of time while you're doing it, great. that means you found something you're passionate about. if you upload something and only get a couple views while you expected a million subs off rip, then you're not thinking realistically.

rome wasn't built in a day, mafucka.

Keep making videos if you want. Just make them better. You don't come across as funny from these clips though. They're too fast. The would be funny part happens before I know what's going on in a clip.

And it's just immediately into random clips of two people playing. A random viewer wont have a clue.

End my life

I'm making a blanket genre console review of detective/mystery games for the DS. I of course need to write the script, but I need to play Last Window, Ghhosttrick, and finish Trace Memory. It also occurred to me I'll probably need gameplay footage. What's the best way to go about that if I already played the game and don't want to go all the way back for that? Would it appear poor quality if I just took clips from the beginning of chapters in games or should I just look for other people's recordings and credit them?

not gaming related, but I made a pretty gread script on why re zero sucks, and i started making the video too but my voice is way too monotone and boring so i stopped making it and lost all motivation

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can I guess why you guys make channels?
Is it
A) Someone told you you're pretty funny and you took it to heart
B) You just want to be payed attention to
C) You have opinions no one pays attention to and you want everyone to hear it
D) You're in it for revenue
E) You actually think you have talent at videogames

I get that, and you're right. Viewer attention span will be horribly low but you have to at least give them a sec to know what's going on. A 3 second title/intro and then 3 seconds leading into the first joke/funny thing/whatever would go a long way.
